Israel Ministry of Tourism Minister Yariv Levin said: “We continue to break records in incoming tourism and this month we mark more than one year of an upward trend in incoming tourism. These are unprecedented statistics that are a direct result of the intense and strenuous work we are doing at the Israel Ministry of Tourism. The numbers speak for themselves and reflect our success – all this is because of the changes in marketing strategy, the increase in flights and new airlines and the improvements in tourism infrastructure. Incoming tourism continues to serve as an economic growth engine and contributes millions of shekels every month to the Israeli economy.”
